Dear Julius @jw
Thank you for bringing this up, unfortunately this is the case at the moment, the way you have done it works well when switching to mobile though and the elements can easily stack - for that reason i think it is good.
It could be forced manually with CSS if you really had to, however i think this is a good point and i would be happy to add this to the Development notes for Future Discussion :)
Best wishes and thank you for the questions and for using Lay Theme
Sincerely
Richard
